Located in the heart of north central Florida and surrounded by rolling hills, farms, and scenic countryside, Ocala is a regional hub and the gateway to the Ocala National Forest. As one of Florida’s more historic cities, charming tree-lined streets and exquisite Victorian and Tudor homes are found in its downtown. While exuding rural charm, Ocala has the vitality and diversity of the regional center it is but without the heavy traffic of a big city.
